Chapter 043: The Good Show Starts the Gong

"Open the door, we want to see Zhixian. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Yes, hurry up and open the door, our family can't die in vain."

"Killing people pays for their lives, debts are repaid, and people in the official family can't be unreasonable."

"If you don't open the door, weβ€”we're going to break in!"

Countless slaps rained down on the door, only to make the door panel clatter, and the two thick doors kept shaking.

"Didn't I tell you what you shouted? The county lord went to the countryside to suppress the bandits, and he will come back in a few days. If there are any grievances, I will talk about it when the county lord comes back! ”

Liu Hu listened to the scolding of the people outside, so he couldn't hold back for a while, and shouted at the top of his throat.

It's just that the noise outside is too loud, and although Liu Hu's voice is loud, it is still drowned out in the sound of slamming the door and scolding one after another.

However, those who were closer to the door still listened to Liu Hu's words.

After a moment of silence, he changed his rhetoric and continued to slam the door-

"The county is not here, isn't there still a master book? Let the surname Meng come out! ”

"Yes, yes, anyway, you have to give us an explanation today, open the door, open the door quickly!"

Knock knock~

The slamming sound of the door was a little louder than Fang Cai, and the door panel shook more and more.

Liu Hu wiped his sweat with his sleeve and asked with some concern, "They won't really break in, right?" ”

In fact, he wanted to ask if this door was strong. You must know that this dilapidated county has been in disrepair for a long time, and when they first came with the uncle, they saw a dilapidated appearance here.

Can this door panel block the out-of-control crowd outside?

Zhanmeng is the most clever, "Liu Tou'er rest assured, our entire Wusa County Ya is the most familiar with these two doors." Thinking about the king of Liang back then, oh no, it was when Liang rebelled against Wusa, and he came in from the back office, and most of the yamen were ruined, but this gate is still intact. ”

As if to confirm Zhanmeng's words, Liu Hu found that the two black mottled doors were smashed, and even the latches shook, but the door shaft and door frame were very firm, and it seemed that they should be able to block the group of people outside.

Of course, if the people outside get a crash, that's a different story.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Open the door, open the door! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Gradually, the momentum of slamming the door has weakened, and the shouting outside has gradually become much quieter.

Zhanmeng pricked up his ears and listened, as if he had heard something, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't look at what he just said so firmly, he is also afraid in his heart.

Moreover, today he and Duan Mao did not 'ask for leave', they had already made a choice - Qi and Ma, he was on Qi Jinzhi's side.

Therefore, he didn't want to see anything happen to the county government.

"Liu Tou'er, it doesn't seem to be so noisy outside."

Zhanmeng said in a low voice: "In a small trance, I heard someone say that the weather is too hot, and there are still injuries at home, I really can't hold on, so I will go home for the time being, and when the county lord returns to the city, they will come again!" ”

Liu Hu glanced at Zhanmeng and saw that his eyes were a little erratic, so he knew that his words had been 'deleted', and it was estimated that the original words of the people outside were not very harmonious.

"Did you hear me?" A flash of surprise flashed on Liu Hu's stupid face, and he immediately said: "It's good to retreat, it's good to retreat." Oh, by the way, someone, move the ladder over and quietly climb to the top of the wall to have a look. ”

Zhanmeng nodded to show that he really saw it, and gave Duan Mao a look.

Duan Mao understood, ran to the back yard with a smoke, and after a while, he came back with a bamboo ladder and put the bamboo ladder on the wall.

Liu Hu turned his face up and put his hands on the pergola, "How's it going?" ”

Duan Mao cautiously poked out half of his head, looked left and right, and then quickly climbed down the ladder and said in a low voice: "Liu Tou'er, Amon is right, the people outside have begun to go home one after another." There were dozens of people around the yamen, but they were all tired enough, and they were sticking out their tongues and panting. ”

Liu Hu let out a long sigh, "Then pay it back, the matter is finally over." ”

Zhanmeng is not so optimistic, from the accident at the Torch Festival last night to today's crowd besieging the county government, the whole thing smells of conspiracy.

Zhanmeng has been at the bottom for so many years, and when he was young, he once followed his father to Yizhou and Shuixi, and he gained some knowledge.

If he was not mistaken, this matter must be the head and end of the Ma family, in order to force Qi Jinzhi to leave. If the operation is done well, it may be able to ruin his reputation and ruin his family.

The Qi family and the Ma family are on the same page, and they have nothing to do with Zhanmeng, a small servant.

However, the Ma family was too ruthless, and actually took advantage of the torch festival to make trouble, implicating twenty or thirty thousand innocent people in the city.

Among them are the families of Zhanmeng and Duan Mao.

Zhanmeng has always been slippery, but he is also a bloody man, and he cares most about his family.

The Ma family's knife swung over, although it was not aimed at their Zhan family and Duan family, but the blade almost injured the lives of the family.

It's really an uncle who can bear it, but an aunt who can't bear it!

Zhanmeng guessed through the joints, analyzed them repeatedly in combination with what had happened recently, and finally decided: "Go with all your heart!" "The Ma family is too arrogant, it's really not the appearance of 'Chang Sheng'.

Duan Mao has long been accustomed to listening to Zhanmeng in everything, and this time is no exception, in the middle of the night, the two brothers are combined, and the next morning, as if nothing is happening, they come to order as usual.

When Liu Hu saw them, he really showed a happy expression, and slapped the shoulders of the two of them hard like a fan, "Okay, we will all be my own brothers in the future." ”

That's what it means to accept them.

Zhanmeng took refuge in Qi Jinzhi, so he naturally had to consider the new owner wholeheartedly.

After thinking for a moment, Zhanmeng whispered to Liu Hu: "Liu Tou'er, I always feel that this is not right. The people outside clearly have ulterior motives. It's not that they have given up, and it is estimated that there will be other arrangements in the future. ”

Liu Hu raised his eyebrows, his already rough facial features suddenly became a little fierce, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Master Meng also said so, phew, a group of black-hearted rats, if it were a man, he should stand up and fight with us, but now he is like a mouse, he can only calculate behind his back, he really damn it!" ”

Zhanmeng thought for a while and reminded: "Liu Tou'er must not be like those thieves, you don't have to be angry with yourself." There's one thing we have to be careful. ”

Liu Hu endured his impatience, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhan Meng lowered his voice and whispered to him: "The front office is fine for the time being, but what about the back office?" ”

The Ma family is the best at intrigues, and Zhanmeng is used to seeing them behind their backs, and he knows quite a lot about some of their methods.

Liu Hu slapped his palm hard, "Hey, you're still smart, I forgot about this stubble." Okay, you and Duan Mao will lead four or five brothers to watch in front, and I, I will personally lead people to the back door. ”

Zhan Meng hurriedly responded, saying that he would definitely be optimistic about the door and never let people break in.

Liu Hu made a simple arrangement, and then led the remaining servants to the rear office in a hurry.

"Ameng, can the Qi County Order really suppress the Ma family?"

After a conflict just now, Duan Mao suddenly became a little afraid.

His right hand habitually rested on the handle of the knife at his waist, Zhanmeng sat down against the wall, and said in a very low voice: "I heard someone say in a trance that Master Qi has already returned home. ”

Duan Mao's eyes widened, "What? ”

Zhanmeng has a specialty, of course, it can also be called a natural ability, that is, his ears and eyes are particularly sensitive, and he can accurately capture those sounds that are so subtle that ordinary people can't hear them.

Intuition is also very sensitive.

Relying on this specialty, he and Duan Mao can mix like fish in water in the yamen, even if they are centrists who don't rely on either side, no one can calculate.

Duan Mao naturally knew the ability of his good brother, so he would trust his judgment extraordinarily.

Zhanmeng curled the corners of his lips, and his eyes inadvertently swept over the signing room, "He can avoid the eyes and ears of the Ma family and return to the county office silently, which shows how powerful he is." Moreover, what kind of person is Qi Jinzhi, who dares to cut off Ma Laoer's head with a knife, and dares to pile up people's heads at the entrance of the yamen...... How could such a ruthless, strong, and decisive person tolerate someone making trouble at the entrance of the yamen? ”

Duan Mao breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhan Meng continued: "But he endured it, you say, is this normal? Hmph, the Ma family has used a poisonous plan, and the Qi family may not have no arrangements. Ah Mao, just wait, there must be 'liveliness' in the county office today. ”

There is another point that Zhanmeng didn't say, Liu Hu is a careless and not rough person, but today he deliberately made a 'stupid and stupid' appearance, and it was obvious that he was acting.

Zhanmeng has a hunch that the stage is in the back office, but I don't know what 'unique skills' the Ma family and the Qi family have prepared!

While Zhan Meng and Duan Mao were muttering, a woman in a coarse cloth dress flashed out on the back ya, wrapped in black cloth on her head, wearing straw sandals on her feet, and carrying a bamboo basket behind her, and walked quickly to the back door of the county office.

"Who? Hold it! ”

The officials brought by Liu Hu had just come out of the back door, and they met this woman head-on, Liu Hu stopped and asked sternly.

The woman seemed to be taken aback, lowered her head, shrunk her body, and replied tremblingly: "The folk woman is here to give and deliver things to Aunt Qi in the kitchen." ”

Liu Hu walked to the woman's side in confusion, looked at the bamboo basket behind her, and there was a wine jar in it, "Send something?" There was such a big thing in the city yesterday, you still dare to go out on the street alone? ”

The woman's subtle answer was a little helpless, "My man is sick, and the family of seven still expects me to sell some mountain goods to support." As long as there is no knife in the sky, Iβ€”I'll have to go out...... This poor master, please make it convenient. ”

Liu Hu took the scabbard and opened the lid of the bowl on the wine jar, sniffed, it was the best rice wine.

However, he didn't let the woman in easily, "You can call out the name of Sister-in-law Qi, obviously you are familiar with her, if it is usual, I will let you in." But not today, the person who put the explosives on the torch festival has not been caught, and there is a group of rioters in front of him, for the safety of the female relatives in the family, idle people are not allowed to enter today. ”

The woman was secretly anxious, she didn't expect Liu Hu to rush to the back office so soon.

But after thinking about it, it felt normal, Ana, as usual, said that the Qi family is not simple, even if their family is a slave, it cannot be underestimated.

The more cautious Li Hu became, the more he showed that the situation in the rear office was not optimistic, and although there was no chaos, there would never be any more chaos.

Anayi was worried that Qi Jinzhi might come back early, or that the county government had made preparations, but now looking at Liu Hu like this, the woman can conclude that things are going well and there is no accident.

"Poor master, I, I, hey, this is not my business alone, in fact, there are still things waiting for me in the house, if you don't believe it, send someone to the kitchen and ask,"

The woman seemed to think of something again, and added: "Oh, by the way, there is a little Qi steward at the back door, and he also knows the people's women." ”

"Xiao Qi is in charge?" Liu Hu frowned, "Could it be Qi Yuming?" ”

The woman nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, it's him, you can ask him, the folk woman is really not a bad person, she just wants to earn two hard-earned money, and the nobles in the house can also taste the game of Usa." ”

Liu Hu beckoned to a servant, whispered a few words, and the servant quickly ran into the back door.

After a while, he ran back and replied, "That's right, this woman often sends things to the house." ”

Liu Hu was still not at ease, so he ordered the official to follow the woman in, and he led the rest of the people to control an area, including Houya Street.

The woman walked with her head down, but she looked around out of the corner of her eye, and she found that compared with the past, the back office was indeed much quieter, and inexplicably made people feel depressed and uneasy, as if something big had happened.

The woman secretly remembered it in her heart, and seeing that the official who was watching her was not very old, she deliberately used the southwestern official dialect to get close to him.

At first, the servant liked to ignore the answer, but the woman was very good at talking, and as soon as she said a few words, she scratched the itch of the servant, and couldn't help but reply a few words.

The woman obediently grasped the point from a few gossip: several female relatives were frightened last night, and one of them was injured, and it is not known which one it is, but there is already some chaos in the backyard.

Gu Jialuo closed the door, and the two stewards were worried that the rebels in front of them would rush in, so they took turns persuading Gu Jialuo to 'go out and avoid trouble'.

However, for some reason, Gu Jialuo disagreed, several of her maids were busy boiling medicine, and basins of blood water were brought out in the small courtyard.

The woman narrowed her eyes and roughly guessed the answer: Gu Jialuo had been injured last night, and the injury was not light; Or, the back office has a reason why Gu Jialuo must stay.

But whatever the specific reason, the purpose of the woman's trip has already been accomplished: first, to determine whether Gugara is in the mansion; 2. Determine the current situation of the Houya, and whether Qi Jinzhi has really returned.

In the Zhu family's plan, she didn't want Qi Jinzhi's life, she just had to kill Gu Jialuo.

At that time, Qi Jinzhi will have a bad reputation, lose his official position, and will have a grudge with the Gu family because of Gu Jialuo's tragic death, and there is no possibility of turning over.

If the Gu family is more ferocious, maybe the entire Qi family will be destroyed, in this way, Qi Jinzhi's life is more uncomfortable than death!

The woman came to the kitchen, politely sent away the servant, and quietly stuffed a silver arm to Qi Jingui's family, the two muttered a few words, and finally the woman pretended to carry the wine jar in the bamboo basket into the kitchen, and in the corner of the kitchen, there were already more than a dozen identical wine jars.

Out of the kitchen, the woman sneaked into the backyard, went around the yard to the base of the back wall, put two fingers into her mouth, and made a few bird calls.

A figure flashed across the courtyard, looking like a woman.

The woman stared at the woman hatefully, but the woman didn't care, and whispered, "Do it at the beginning of the night." ”

The woman gritted her teeth and did not respond.

The woman kindly reminded: "Child! ”

The woman's eyes were red, and she wanted to rush up and strangle the woman, but she still held back and nodded stiffly: "Okay, I know." ”

PS: Carven Bird, strive to resume the double watch tomorrow, and please continue to support you. (To be continued.) )
